Oki... So I finally bought myself a Wacom tablet (eating noodels for a year...) and, well this is my 2 first Wacoms...
I posted the first in the Psycho killer thread and the speed 3, couse it was hastely done (my skill was thourgly stumbt by the diff drawing style of a tablet,its HARD)
Anyways, I dont know why I drew a Trenchcoat samurai... maybe the love for Constantine (Hellblazer comic) and all things japanese.

This second pic I worked some more on, wich I hope shows.


As you can see I read alot of comics...
Sooo... what you think. Should I return the tablet to the store and buy myself a steak diner or what ?? C&C pretty plz

I also wanted to thank everybody in this forum for being an enormous inspiration, without whom I would never have picked this up again (I was driffting into the darkside of Graphic design... )

Ps. Ill buy an english dictionary tomorrow... promise

[THE LAST GOONIE]

[Shikome]

Ohh they are quite expensive. Dont have the price in dollars, but in Swedish kroner its 6200. Check their website for local dealers:

looks pretty well done, like it alot, the lightning is pretty cool.
only crit is that imo you overdid it with the (oh damn i dont get the english word right now..) on the jacket. i mean his left arm, there are too many of them, and not very good placed. you know what i mean? wringles. is it called so?

[Shikome]

yeah I know what you mean, I also dont know the word for "wringles"... But I know, it looks like they dont belong to the coat, Ill work on that. Thanks!

More Crits PLZ, so I can learn this

[paranoid?]

You can get a nice one for about 120$ Goonies...i'm not really aware about all the prices and brand thought...

[oDD]

i can see improvement. the jacket on the second pic doesn't look so flat as on the first pic, thats very good.

few wrong things with samurai pic:

1. his face looks too flat
2. his head is half in light so HIS right shoulder should be in shadow too.
3. some shadows are very dark (head) and some not soo dark (jacket), that looks strange.

keep up the good work , practice and you will get better.

Lucky you, i bought one (the cheapeast cheapest, more cheap then graphire it was like a 90 something year model.. artz-1 lol aerr anyways it didnt quite work and all that lost money in the end ya... DIDNT WORK #@(*(*#@*(#@(*#@ lol...) lets see, oh yes, i was gona say it could be a fanart for highlander not necessarily a samurai so dont mind the trenchcoat its cool

[Leeloo]

Nice pics! I agree with Pro-phet...about the WRINKLES (that's what you mean right?) or folds, in the jacket on the arm. not properly placed.
